Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.

Patricia, our mother died aged 91. She had the wet form of macular degeneration which meant for the last few years she had not been able to read or see the television. Calibre provide a most brilliant service where volunteers read out loud and record books onto memory sticks. These were really easy to use and only required one button to be pressed.

Mum used to listen to her books in the morning after breakfast sitting in her favourite chair at the french window. Your donation will help this work to continue to give pleasure to other partially sighted and blind people across the country.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
